Complementary MOS (CMOS) integrated circuits include MOS transistors, resistors and bipolar transistors formed on a common substrate. An emitter region of a bipolar transistor is implanted with a first dopant in an implantation process that implants source/drain regions of an MOS transistor, and is also implanted with a second dopant of same conductivity type in another implantation process that implants a body region of a resistor. The first and second dopants may optionally be the same dopant. The source/drain regions are implanted with the resistor body region covered by a first patterned mask; and the resistor body region is implanted with the MOS transistor source/drain regions covered by a second patterned mask. The implantations of the MOS transistor source/drain regions and of the resistor body region the source/drain regions can occur in any order, with the emitter region implanted during both implantations.
